Ican not get the screw to reach beyond the two washers and blade, did anyone else run into that?

I only use one washer,that is notched to fit over blade fitting. The one that receives the blade wrench when changing blades. This is one great saw.

yes, it happened to me. The magnetic part stopped touching the bottom I user a very small washer to bridge the gap. but any metal will do the job.

Not to worry...lay blade on a flat surface and place washer ring over the center hole of the blade...then use firm finger pressure to press the washer into the hole of the blade. Jiggle it a bit if you have to, but it usually just presses right into the hole and stays there while you fit the blade onto the grinder. Secure the blade by tightening the arbor nut that comes with the grinder and you're in business. Put the washer in a safe place afterwards or tape it to the blade so it doesn't get misplaced. Pretty straightforward. No secret tricks. Good luck!

I don't have that problem. I suspect that the blade cover (housing) is not properly inserted into machine. The gap between blade and blade cover is pretty small such that only minimal debris is collected. That has been my experience.

It is possible that the blade is not all the way in. Mine had to be turned a little and carefully pushed in to the appropriate position. But once I got it on and tried to start it IT froze up on me. I could 't get it appear and ended up sending it back dirty. I DIDN't get another. I got a different brand. I hope you have a better experience than I did. Good luck.

I had a similar problem on my Bosch which resulted in me removing the laser from my saw and going back to the stock washer and bolt. Sorry I don't have a better answer; I was not happy with the blade stalling in the middle of cuts and didn't take time to chase the issue.

No. The screws that are used on the paddles are torx with a big head 1/4 20 thread. I drilled the center of mine out and then used a new 1/4 20 bolt through the drilled out old screw. That way I still had the washer surface and the bushing to support the paddle. It will make more sense when you look at it.

You will have to find some screws. You will attach it by locating a small ring right below the design. Dependimg on how big your screw head is, you may meed a washer as well.

I had the same problem when I first attached the blade....and the instructions sucked; I had to figure out how to do it myself. Vibrated so bad that I couldn't hold it. I simply took the blade off and flipped it over and reattached it and that solved it completely. It runs as smoothly and powerfully as I could want now.

Now that you mention it, it was in there pretty tight. I did use the correct type of screwdriver to eventually open. Im looking at the screw that was rremoved and its stripped. I guess I will tread lightly next time the screw needs to be undone. This sounds like its a defect overall in the product workmanship. Good luck.

I wish I could help you..don't recall having that problem! Carefully examine the buttons that you depress to rotate it. But I'm at a loss as to the screw.

Try several different size blade attachments. Mine worked fine. Hope that helps

i really dont know, its a really odd washer, probably a gimmick to get to buy a special washer at a inflated price from them. what i did was grind off the metal part to make it flat, then a normal washer works just fine, even if you grind it off, it can still be removed with a socket wrench, your just grinding off the screwdriver part....

I am in the same dilemma...I took off the beater bar, but the motor shaft goes all the way to the other side, and there is no gap to take the belt on or off...help!

As I recall it was tricky getting that blade in because something was obstructing it, but I can't remember what. I got it in after a few minutes of fiddling around though so if you don't have it in by now send me an email and I'll take the blade off and see what I have to do to put it back in john.hawley@wright.edu.

Could not get the proper configuration between hose and power washer due to conflict with built-in strainers

I had a similar issue with mine as well. I had to really squeeze the housing together to get the screw to start. Can't be anymore help than that
